Standing with Yasir: early-stage lung cancer treatment costs
Supporting Yasir through early-stage lung cancer: medication, transport to Cairo Regional Medical Center, and living costs while He can't work.
🇪🇬 Cairo, Cairo, Egypt2,252 views
Yasir was diagnosed with early-stage lung cancer in June. The oncology team at Cairo Regional Medical Center has planned 12 rounds of treatment, starting in August. He will be away from work for about 6 weeks.
Yasir is 31, worked as a construction supervisor until June, and has always been the one who looks after everyone else. Now it's our turn to look after him.
Treatment is covered only in part. Medication that isn't on the approved list, trips to Cairo Regional Medical Center 5 times a week, and the income the family has lost add up quickly.
We've already sold what we could and have begun borrowing for groceries. Every kindness from you takes weight off his shoulders.
Funds will be used only for treatment, medication, transport to appointments and essential living costs during treatment.
Where the $1,500 goes:
• Chemotherapy and medication not covered: $720
• Scans and lab work: $240
• Transport to Cairo Regional Medical Center: $100
• Nutrition and supplements prescribed by the care team: $125
• Household costs while unable to work: $315
Every share and every dollar helps.

Thanks for sharing this. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Blessings.
Thanks for sharing this. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. Thinking of Cairo!
Rooting for you, Rima. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend
Hope this works out for you. Greetings from Dammam
Sending strength, Rima. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. God bless.
Your post was clear and honest. My neighbor in Ribeirão Preto donated after I showed her your page. Blessings.
Stay strong, Rima. Get well soon.
Best of luck, Rima. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Ogbomosho so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Cairo.
your post was clear and honest. I'm in public service myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. Take care.
Thinking of you, Rima. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Love from Agra.
